I enjoy speaking to a diverse array of audiences, from CEOs, to marathon runners, to the United States Armed Forces, to think tanks and start-ups. I believe that parts of my life story are relatable to almost anyone. We all experience adversity. We all start new projects at work, school, or home. We've been touched by success and most likely flanked by failure. I am a firm believer that limits are set to be redefined, that obstacles are not road blocks but opportunities for a better detour, and that our past and current life circumstances do not control our future outcomes.

It is not about what happens to us in life -- it is only how we react that matters.
